Description: Jonathon Cape 1944 Hardback, 189pp. On Beltane Eve Donald and Jean decide to visit the dark mysterious wood in top of the hill. And in the wood they meet Borrobil. As Borrobil explained to them, Beltane is one of the most magic nights of the year, when the White King of Summer must defeat the Black King of Winter. But Borrobil also describes himself as the best good magician who ever lived in these parts since the rule of King Diarmid. What better guide could Donald and Jean have to lead them to see Morac defeat the poison-breathing Dragon and thence to the north to fetch Princess Finella to be the Morac's bride? But the Black Sulig has first to be overcome and when they eventually reach Finella's castle more dangers threaten from the men of the Long Ships. Donald and Jean return to the wood on the hill just in time to see the fight between the White King and the Black King. DJ; Price clipped.
